A-Z Wednesday



A-Z Wednesday is hosted by Vicky of Reading at the Beach. To join, look here.

This weeks letter is: K


Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson

Book Description:
When young David Balfour's father dies and leaves him in poverty, he tracks down his Uncle Ebenezer to seek his inheritance. But his uncle is a mean, nasty man with a dark family secret. David finds himself in terrible danger when he is kidnapped and taken prisoner on board a ship bound for slavery he must escape. With the help of daring rebel Alan Breck, David faces a wild adventure as he is hunted across the desolate Scottish moors.

My thoughts:
My oldest son, Caleb, recently listened to this book, which he really enjoyed. I was only able to hear parts of it, but it sounded really exciting. Hopefully, I'll be able to enjoy the whole story some time in the future.
